Dreadful recording quality
This is not a book or a novel. This is a guide to meditation and the recording quality is so poor that it is impossible to actually use it as the guide it was intended to be. There are extended silences during which one is supposed to follow the instructions however the recording is one made with an automatic level control and the background noise level rises slowly to a roar during what is supposed to be silence. To make matters worse the data reduction software can't really make a decent job of noise so it sound even worse. Shoddy work. Awful and unusable

A woman of real depth
What did you like most about How to Meditate with Pema Chodron?
Pema Chodron clearly has a great insight into, and experience of meditation. The silences are both very appropriate and helpful in getting a sense of what meditation is all about. She has a deep understanding of what meditation is all about, and is able to convey that with her humour.
What about Pema Chodron’s performance did you like?
As she has such a wide awareness and consciousness, she is able to find humour in almost anything. But not a cynical humour, but a rich, loving humour.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
She is a very warm and genuine person, and it is hard not to respond in kind.
Any additional comments?
If you are interested in meditation, then this is a must to experience. It will change your life for the better - if you let it.

Meditation with Pema a wonderful experience
This audio book is a clear and accessible heartfelt explanation, to help people relax into the difficult task of meditation, Pema’s voice is so relaxing and she speaks with such clarity, it really helps you to stick with it.

Excellent
A wonderful opportunity to be “in a class” with Pema. Over and over again. I keep coming back to this. She gives useful instructions to practice and time to do so. Her voice is soothing and wise, and her senses of humour so grounding and real. It’s helped me more than any other book so far.

Excellent and Useful
This series of lectures was a wonderful introduction to meditation for me. I think my understanding of what one can aim for was greatly expanded. I enjoyed her clarity, her lightness and humor and will listen to it more than a few times. Personally, I had no problem with the sound... in fact, it felt good to hear the resonance of the room which made me feel like I was there as well.

Intro to Meditation
A great introduction to meditation. I love all Pema Chodron's recordings and insightful books. She is gentle, kind and wise. Humor works to lighten the mood and move the listener effortlessly through the instruction. The recording gives the feeling of being in a live retreat or class setting. Highly recommended.

Poor audio quality.
It sounds like it was recorded from across the room with a very amateur microphone. It's hard to hear what she is saying and pay attention, let alone relax and focus. Too bad.

Excellent listen!
I felt positive results from the exercises before I even finished the book. it was easy to understand, and Pema's voice was very soothing and relaxing, not to mention she is very humorous and personable. I enjoyed the book so much i even went and bought another of her books in paperback. I would recommend it to any one who is interested in learning to meditate or simply destress and relax.

Great guidance
I am not sir how closely this follows the text, but it is about 60% guided meditations and the rest is very helpful guidance on right views

Such gentleness
I was recently introduced to Pema and have been thoroughly enjoying her teachings. I especially loved this guidance on meditation, and followed the last half of the last track repeatedly.

Fruitful.
Hard processed, but fruitful. A good guide. I sometimes meditated without audio, and sometimes gets back to get instructions.

New concepts to meditation
Every week just brought great concepts to meditation. If done on a weekly basis, it definitely brings a new perspective every week. Easy to understand and work with. I decided to bookmark all guided meditations to easily access

meditate
Loved this version as an audible compared to a reading of the book "word for word". Felt like I was at her retreat 😃
